Start a Better Breakfast Routine... BistroMD
September, Better Breakfast Month, is nearly at a close-- but it is never too late to improve the way you start your day. Breakfast truly is the most important meal. A good breakfast can give you more energy and help you to make better choices throughout the day. I have a horrible habit of skipping breakfast usually because I don’t leave myself enough time to make something great, but I notice a difference when I make time for myself. Don’t let the fact that September is almost over deter you from beginning a better breakfast routine. Fall is really good time to jumpstart your health and fitness regimen-- it is so much easier to roll into the new year with good habits when you do.BistroMD shared a few simple recipes with me that I’d like to share with you! Trust me-- they are pretty yummy. Have fun!
